Musings of a Busride

Well the bus ride was interesting.
I was sitting on a seat which I was sure the bottom was covered with gum.
The bumps of the gravel rode made me sway in my seat. I was enjoying a bag of snack mix which consisted of peanuts, gummy bears, Nibs, M&M's, Sunchips, pretzels, Rolo bites, chocolate covered cranberries, licorice all sorts, cheezies, doritos, and flax seed crackers. (I find the flax seed crackers the only odd tasting thing out of the bunch!) Delicious!
Rachelle (a young girl who is very annoying and is probably in grade threeish) was showing me a collection of her Littlest Pet Shop Pets from the other side of the bus with me half listening. And just for the sake of detail I'll name them or what kind of animals they were. (Just so everybodys clear I don't play with them!)
There was a chinchilla, a seal, a rabbit or was it a goat? Anyway, Tyler and Claydon (Rachelle's brother) were randomly punching the seat for the fun of it.
The funny thing is, is that I'm pretty sure most school bus rides are like this.

"Ok! Ok! I'll give you that fish I owe you!"

"I knew I shouldn't have had that extra cheeseburger..."

"Why did you have to say 'cut' now!? It's still another hour until my lunch break!"

"Yikes. I really have to stop going to those late night swims!"

Snowboarding: Painful but Great!!

Snowboarding was awesome!! We started on a very very small hill. I'm pretty sure they don't even call this a hill. It's more of a very gradual slope. Well anyway we fell a bit on that. Sad but true. After that hill we went to our lesson and that helped a lot!! We learned how to side slip, go on our toe and heel edge, and stop. (foreign language for all you non snowboarders!! hehe) After the lesson we all felt like pros but we were far from it! On the ski lift Raeann and I were sitting on the ends and Caitlin was sitting in the middle. When we got off Caitlin went straight and me and Raeann both went inwards and crashed into each other! We just laughed! Another time on the lift we all got off straight and then we all fell down at the same time! Great funniness. hehe Well I didn't come back completely unharmed. On the last run of the day at the bottom of the hill Caitlin called " Look Out!". Personally I don't know why she called that but I looked back at her and I crashed. Hard. I practically smashed my wrist into my hip. Luckily it wasn't broken just sprained. It was actually kind of humorous believe it or not. Caitlin was crushing ice on my wrist and Raeann was wandering around me while I was screamin my head off. It would have been a very odd sight. Other than that we had a great time! Snowboarding has officially taken the place of skiing in my life!

An Unlucky Friday the 13th!!

This never happens but me and my mom were actually unlucky on Friday the 13th! I still don't believe in that stuff but it was weird! Well on the following Saturday my mom had a stamping day. We were going the night before to set up. As I was half listening to my mom talk about it there was a CRASH! in the backseat. We turned around and noticed that the tub full of punches fell against the seat. (This vehicle was stuffed full of stuff.) So I got out on the gravel road and opened the door. The tub fell out of the car and spilled the punches all over the gravel and near the ditch! We thought they were going to be broken but we were lucky...hehe lucky on Friday the 13th...anyway, we picked them all up and kept on driving. My mom had called the hall (the place where her stamping day was going to be) and they said that nothing was going on the night before so thats when we were going to set up. When we got there we noticed that the lights were on and there was cars parked in front. So we went in and disturbed a confirmation class. Well geez! Mom was angry so she asked the guy who was teaching the confirmation class if we could at least unload the tons of craft supplies. Luckily (there I go again....) we were able to do that. We then waited until 9:30 PM when the class was over.

Snowboarding!!

Oh yeah!! Finally! I get to try snowboarding! It was sort of a spur of the moment thing! (Thats how most things are with me!) I am tempted to put a pillow on my butt. I have heard all sorts of horror stories about sore butts. Very tempted but I won't. At least I'm with my friends! We'll laugh at each others disasters! Everybody says we're going to end up giving up but we'll show them! Anyhow, I think this is great news so I thought I'd share it with you all! (I was going to say y'all but I stopped myself!)

Will the Snow Ever End?

My little red haired cousin making sand angels in the SUMMER.

A gorgeous SUMMER sunset in Cypress Hills Provincial Park.

Pretty little SUMMER flowers.

I don't think the snow will ever stop. We just had a gallon of snow dumped on our little farm last night. I wish it was no- jacket weather. I'm way too tired of bundling up just to walk across the yard. I have these pictures to remind me of the gorgeous weather, of which I have almost completely forgotten. (notice the capitalized SUMMER!)

Geico Kash?

If you haven't noticed yet, Geico has come out with a new "dude" for their commercials. I personally like the new one better. (It is a little creepy though....but thats what makes it great! hehe) He's called Geico Kash. In the commercials he'll randomly show up while some person is spending money and a song will play. It's called "Somebody's Watching Me" which suits it. I guess thats why they used it but ANYHOW! Here he is:

Are you creeped out yet?

How about now?

Now? Jus kidding with ya! I think its cute. (Yet still creepy..)

Vinja!!

As I was in the middle of stuffing roast beef into my mouth during supper my dads phone starts playing a catchy jingle. You know the jingles that are catchy but then get annoying after awhile. It was that sort of catchy jingle. It turns out it was a text message and it said "VINJA!!". We had no idea who it was from so we decided to reply. Well my dad said to write "Vinja?" so I did. After awhile the catchy jingle played again and it said "Noooo! It's kennedy!". We still had no idea who this person or kennedy was. So we texted back again. Once again my dad made a suggestion. He told me to text "You mean John F. Kennedy?" so I did. After another awhile the catchy jingle played again and said "No silly! Don't be so silly child!". We all laughed. We realized this guy didn't know he had the wrong number so what did we do? We texted back! Well, this time I said "You have the wrong number.". The next jingle was so random. I mean really random. It said "Will you go out with Jordyn?" I was going to text back saying "Only if he dyes his hair purple" but I didn't. I figured I might have ruined someone's life if I did that. So I just texted back saying "You have the wrong number!!!" Well the final jingle said "Who are you?" We all decided to leave the person alone so that was the end of it. Good times!!

Bath Beads

I was curling today and we had an awesome time! We lost our first game, laughed about it and won our last game and laughed about it! (See? You can laugh about anything!) Well our skip was totally bummed out about the first game and the rest of looked like we all had too much caffeine. So since we lost the first game we had a 4 hour wait before our next one. That 4 hours was filled with randomness and more laughing! Hehe. Oh yes, there was music involved and maybe a little random dancing. Ok! I love "Right Round" by Flo Rida. The funny thing about his name is that he lives in Florida and that is his name. Anyway, I thought I would just add that in. After our triumphant victory against the leading team and my ride home watching Corner Gas in my friends' truck, I had a nice relaxing bath with bath beads. (This is not something I normally do. It's mostly rushed showers and the super cold feeling when I get out.) I read my book. Then I squirted myself with this weird squirtable lotion. So weird.

"You're just jealous that you can't truly appreciate your coffee like us."

"I thought the bottle said silky smooth?"

"Forget it Toto. We're probably just being punked."

"This is a hold-up..."

New Coke Bottle!

Check out these sweet bottles. I happened upon one in a dollar store. Kind of an odd place to find the new coke bottle. But anywho...I had the red one if anyone is wondering. They're made of the stuff that the cans were made of, just in bottle form. It's the best of both worlds. I personally like these better. But that's just me. I like anything that looks cool.
I am the type of person who can't open a new jar of pickles or ketchup. You may be wondering where I'm going with this so I suppose I should tell you. These bottles are hard to open! Once again, that's just me. I'm sure you exercise buffs could open this in a heartbeat. Anyway I think they're great!

Musings at an Odd Time

Well, I'm sitting on a chair in front of a keyboard with keys that are hard to press down at my moms friends' house. Thirteen strange looking jelly beans are sitting beside me at fingers reach. (They were there before I got here.)
My moms friend is talking about a dramatic episode of "The Bachelor" while her dog is whining. (I found this to be good timing.)
My mom is viciously sponging a card with bluish gray ink.
My mom's friend's daughter in law is attempting to make a card from the computer.
Ok, ready for this one?
My mom's friend's daughter in law's baby is snoring Z's.
If you haven't guessed the scenario, it's one of those crazy nights my mom decides to go out stamping while I'm stuck on the computer. (Which isn't a bad thing!)
